[linux] CD burning utilities

Thanks for the suggestion of k3b; I installed and tried it, and it
worked very well for composing my CD.  I like its drag-and-drop
interface and the nice way it has of actually displaying the size of
files and directories I'm trying to add. ;-)

I figured out my *real* problem, though...  The main reason I was
getting frustrated was that these CD-burning utilities were telling me
my files added up to several gigabytes, when I *knew* they were all
just small config directories and couldn't add up to that much.  (Ergo,
the utilities must be wrong!)  Well, it turns out that my procmail
logfile was 2G, and that's what was causing my problem.  (I gzipped it,
and it compressed down to 7MB, which freed quite a bit of space in my
home directory.)

Thank you for your help!
